# redux-url

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/jedirandy/redux-url.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/jedirandy/redux-url)
[![npm module](https://badge.fury.io/js/redux-url.svg)](https://www.npmjs.org/package/redux-url)

A redux middleware for synchronizing the url with your redux store's state. It provides a set of action creators for changing the url, and if the url matches a user-defined route, an action will be dispatched with some metadata of the url such as parameters and query.

It works with redux 3.x, 4.x

## Install

```
npm install --save redux-url
```

## Usage

```javascript
import { createBrowserHistory as createHistory } from 'history'; // choose a history implementation
import { createStore, applyMiddleware } from 'redux';
import { createRouter, navigate } from 'redux-url';

const routes = {
'/': 'HOME', // when url is matched, will dispatch an action of type 'HOME', the payload contains matched params and query
'/todos/:id': ({ id }, query) => ({ type: 'CHANGE_TODO', payload: id, query }), // you can also pass a function to transform the action, the matched params, query and the original path will be passed in
'*': 'NOT_FOUND'
};

const router = createRouter(routes, createHistory());
const store = createStore(
reducer,
applyMiddleware(router)
);

router.sync(); // In order to restore the state from the URL when refreshed

store.dispatch(navigate('/todos/123')); // navigate to '/todos/123'

```

## API

* `createRouter(routes, history)`:

creates the middleware
- arguments
* routes (*object*) : The URL patterns to be mapped, where values can be either of the following:
* *string*:

when the URL matches the route, an action will be dispatched of which the type is the given string, and the payload has the following shape:

```javascript
{
type: string,
payload: {
params: Object,
query: Object,
path: string
}
}
```

* *function*: (object, object, string) => Action

a function that takes the matched `params`, `query` and the original `path`, returns an action

* history: the history object created from lib [`history`](https://github.com/ReactTraining/history),
such as `createBrowserHistory`

- returns

the middleware which provides the following methods:

* `sync()`:

synchronize the current url with the state, this is useful for handling the situation when the page is refreshed

* `navigate(path: string, replace: boolean = false)`:

creates an action for navigating to the path, `replace` indicates whether it should modify the current history entry rather than push a new one

* `push(path: string)`:

a shorthand of navigate(path, false)

* `replace(path, string)`:

a shorthand of navigate(path, true)

* `goBack()`:

creates an action for going back

* `goForward()`:

creates an action for going forward

* `go(n: number)`:

creates an action for going n (can be negative) steps
